What a business environment!
Lu Ming shook his head and looked at the fat white man who came in.
Over there, Uncle Sun took a step forward and gently stretched out his hand to block the fat white man.
The fat white man rolled his eyes: "Why, we opened the door for business, but you don't want to do my business? Are you going to chase the customers away?!"
Several men in black shirts behind him immediately surrounded Sun Bo.
The newly hired clerk came to Lu Ming anxiously and whispered, "Boss, this is Mr. Bai. We have to trouble him with the matters on the ground in Longgang."
The clerk's name is Lin Shaocong, nicknamed Daniu. He saw the notice posted in the bookstore this morning and came to apply for the job, and was successfully hired.
The young man came from a poor family and had been weak since childhood, so he could not do any farm work. His only hobby was to attend classes at a private school run by a wealthy family in the town. The teacher was very nice and not only did he not drive him away, he also secretly taught him how to write and read.
But when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, other children were able to work in the fields, and some were even introduced to work in coal mines to make a lot of money. Lin Shaocong's reading and writing, which he was proud of, became a joke. After a few years, he became a well-known loser in the village.
A few days ago, the girl he had been secretly in love with was promised to someone else, and the last ray of light in his life dimmed from then on.
Today he had been planning to take a walk around the county town and then jump into the river to commit suicide. Before leaving this world, he wanted to take a last walk in the largest city he could come into contact with, feel the prosperity of the world, and taste the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life, which was the mutton soup of Dongguan Houji, which he had drunk once a few years ago. Then, he would leave without any regrets.
But unexpectedly, I saw this bookstore and the recruitment notice outside.
In the past, he did not even have the courage to ask. Although he could read and write, he was not considered a scholar. Clerk positions in the county town required introductions from local gentry and celebrities. They were all lucrative jobs and required at least a junior high school graduate. He had never been to any formal school and only studied in a private school, so it was impossible for him to find a job in the county town, let alone a comfortable job as a bookstore clerk.
But now that he was dying, he finally mustered up the courage to come in. The boss, whose surname was Lu, chatted with him for a few words and then said yes and asked if he wanted to do the job for 20 yuan a month.
20 yuan a month? That's higher than the salary of my relative who works as a miner in Sansha Town. That relative is so arrogant because he has two sons who are miners, and the salary of miners in Sansha Mine has increased recently.
In Longgang County, there are no clerical positions that can pay 20 yuan a month.
Unless they are clerks in the county office, they have to be of very high status, but they are all superior to others.
At that time, he thought it was just like what happened in the village. Someone was playing a prank on him and told him some good news. When he was ecstatic and believed it to be true, in the end, he was surrounded by a crowd of people who laughed at him.
He even stood up and got angry, saying that Boss Lu shouldn't humiliate him.
He didn't have this kind of courage before, but when he is about to die, he becomes a different person.
Who would have thought that Boss Lu would directly ask someone to take out 20 yuan as an advance for this month's salary.
Even now, Lin Shaocong still feels that he is dreaming.
It was not until Mr. Bai came in, and especially when he saw the fierce look in Mr. Bai's eyes, that he came to his senses a little, and hurried to the host to remind him.
Lu Ming smiled at him, "You keep busy. Also, write a new recruitment notice, the same as yours, with a monthly salary of 20 yuan. From now on, the two of you will take turns, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Then next week, you will switch shifts, the morning shift will become the afternoon shift, and the afternoon shift will become the morning shift. Well, if you want to take turns one day at a time, that's fine too. We can discuss it by ourselves then."
Lin Shaocong was stunned again. He thought that 20 yuan meant he would have to work in the store all night for 24 hours. Moreover, it must be more than just looking after the bookstore. There should be other jobs. Who knew that the owner would hire another person to take over the shifts
Just as I was shocked, I suddenly heard someone humming outside the store. I looked up and was stunned.
But it was Mr. Bai and his friends who fell outside the bookstore, groaning and unable to get up.
Lin Shaocong wanted to say something, but saw the boss waving his hand. He didn't know why, but he couldn't say anything. He hurried to the desk beside the bookshelf to write the recruitment notice. It was as if he subconsciously knew that he should quickly do what the boss asked him to do and not worry about other things. If he continued, the boss might be unhappy.
"Uncle Sun, call Zeng Xiangfan in the left police room. Those Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Guards are a bit annoying." Lu Ming shook his head.
Just as Sun Bo agreed, he saw two patrolmen, Fatty Li, coming over from outside the bookstore.
Mr. Bai and his friends got up and said something to Fatty Li.
Fatty Li quickly walked over with his chest puffed out, stepped into the store, and said in a cold voice: "What's going on? Who is the boss? You guys, oh, it's you, why are you hitting people?!" The baton pointed at Uncle Sun, "Lean against the wall, squat!"
Lu Ming winked at the blackhead behind him.
Heitou took two steps forward and said, "Captain Li, you'd better find out who my owner is. Speaking of power, you people in Longgang value power, right? Then you can call the police left office. Oh, you can't, you can't reach it. Ask your boss to call Zeng Xiangfan, the police left office, tell him the address of this store, and ask him what he says."
After a pause, he said, "As for regulations, customers are never God. This is my owner's private business premises. For unwelcome customers, like you, the bookstore has the right to expel them. However, you are granted public power and law enforcement power, while my store exercises the private rights of the operator."
"As for why violence was used during the eviction and how to define responsibility, that is for the court to decide."
Lu Ming stared at Heitou in astonishment, but he didn't expect that after following him all the time, she had changed a lot. He had only asked her to get rid of a few flies, but who knew that this little black girl would become as eloquent as an official
Looking at Heitou again now, I think that this little girl, well, is quite charming. If you ignore her skin color, she is quite pretty.
Lu Ming sneered in his heart. If she trained a little more, he thought, maybe she could work as an office clerk in his congressman's office. But that would be a waste of talent. After all, Heitou's strength was being a professional bodyguard.
Fatty Li on the other side was also stunned by what he heard, but he soon realized that this family must be not easy to mess with.
After all, he has been on the ground for so many years and has seen a lot of people, so his eyes are still very bright.
His expression eased slightly, "We will investigate this matter seriously!" It would be better for him to go back and ask his boss. However, after all, he didn't know the details of this store, so there was no need to be so arrogant.
Mr. Bai and his men did not dare to enter the store at all. Although they exaggerated a lot to Fatty Li, they had never seen the old guy move before they flew out like a cloud. Now it seems that he is not the boss but an follower. This boss is not at the same level as those they usually deal with on the street.
Seeing Fatty Li and his companion talking to a black girl inside and then coming out politely, Master Bai made a gesture to his followers and they immediately slipped away.
